  • For the first time since her retirement, Guillem gives such an interview at her home, inviting Daniil Simkin to chat amongst olive trees, pastures, and her pets. She talks about her childhood, her relationship with Nureyev, and her experiences at the Paris Opera Ballet. She discusses her state of mind during her career and her current lifestyle.
    Sylvie Guillem is one of the most acclaimed dancers in the history of the dance world. With her flexible and strong body, beautiful legs, and rich expressive power, she transformed the image of conventional female dancers. She revolutionized classical ballet, pioneering a new model of classical ballerina. At a time when contemporary and modern dance was not associated with classical ballet dancers, she took on new works one after another and became the multi-talented dancer as we know her today.

      Sylvie has always demonstrated the strength of conviction and passion to this very day. It's amazing how much of that exact same passion she now throws into her _"garden"_ and her animal care. This is a very honest and introspective look Sylvie has given us into her life - what an amazing gift she has given us all.

    I read a comment from a man who is really respected in the dance world who said that the ballet dancers at the pinnacle can really only be compared to others of their time. I thought about that a lot until I came to the conclusion that I didn’t agree….there are dancers (as there are musicians) who make such an impact they are timeless, and Sylvie Guillem is one of those dancers, Nureyev is one of those dancers, and there are many others I can think of.

    Terrific and insightful interview Danil--thank you! I had the privilege to be on stage with Sylvie in Swan Lake as an extra in 1990 at the Kennedy Center (with English Royal Ballet). Her focus was marvelous and the reverence she had for the art and the work was clear. Once she got on stage, it was as though she was set free--she transcended the role, choreography, technique, and her person--it was mystical!

    Sylvie Guillem is the Goddess of Dance, the greatest dancer of all time. Male or Female. For me - it will always be Guillem and then Najinsky. She is a treasure for humanity. I wonder how it must have felt to live and see live, Maria Callas, or Beethoven perform - and to think that I have lived when Sylvie Guillem walked the Earth - is exciting and full of wonder.

Et je connais le petit Simkin depuis avant sa naissance - j'ai fait une interview avec son père Dmitry - un grand danseur de ballet, qui était ravi que sa femme allait accoucher, et il était à Varna pour la concours! I a gagne médaille d'or de Varna. Inoubliable!

    Aside from being the most gifted ballerina of her generation, both in classical and contemporary works as well as a choreographer, she's a strong emotional woman, and activist and has a wonderful sense of humor. I've seen her dance and it was truly magical beyong words. A unique & incredibly gifted ballerina who worked very hard to become so successful as a dancer. You don't get to the top without hard work and love of dance. 11:37

    I cried and thanked God after hearing this testimony. It was a reminder of my life’s purpose. We each have one precious life to live. God has given us a part in order to please Him. He is the most noble thought of man. Every decision we make affects not only ourselves but others. I appreciate what Silvie said about her perspective even if she is not saved (yet).
    Have a sense of urgency about your mission! And especially the Christian who has the truth about eternal life paid for by the sinless blood of Christ on the cross at Calvary. The Christian who knows the world will burn up one day and those who are saved will be hid in Christ. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
    I used to use his name as a cuss word, but then he saved my soul after I sought him with all my heart. Now I have been born again! This is the spiritual birth. “For whosever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Romans 10:13 King James Holy Bible
